TEMPERATURES COULD REACH 27 degrees today, as a heatwave continues.
Met Eireann is forecasting high temperatures today, but is warning that some areas will be hit with thundery showers.
“This morning any mist or fog will soon lift but may linger in a few coastal areas. It will be dry and sunny for a time, but cloud will build up as heavy thundery showers with the risk of hail develop over the western half of the country in the afternoon and evening.
“It will be very warm again with top temperatures reaching between 22 and 27 degrees and winds will be light variable or easterly.”
Showers will die out tonight, but the west will see some fog.
Tomorrow will be largely the same as today, with scattered showers and warm weather, with highs of 27 degrees.
Saturday will start mostly cloudy and with outbreaks of rain gradually clearing eastwards during the day.
The rain could turn heavy or persistent for a time in the north but drier and brighter weather in the southwest will extend further eastwards later.
It will be a cooler and fresher day with top temperatures of 18 to 23 degrees with light breezes.
Sunday will see some showers and it will be cooler and fresher.

And while they were busy slapping each other on the back ,this is what happened .The sooner the better Zappone and her do gooders clique remember these youths are criminals and will inhabit our prisons in the future , then we might have a better chance of tackling crime.
@Just Me: the on demand generation need to start understanding what personal responsibility means. Then again not many so in the country
How many well off, especially the private educated FG supporters have a future in prison? FG have no problem spending fortune keeping people on jail but won’t spend a tiny fraction of that to house the poor leading to homeless future and despair leading to crimes that we all suffer from with a huge hyped up crime fear driven by the media business selling papers and fear especially that owned by a certain FG loving billionaire who’s tribunal findings against him have not been acted on since Enda became Taoiseach in 2011
@abcyz: 300,000 per “child” per annum
Can’t believe the Journal has not covered the ST John of God Audit as covered in today’s Irish Mail on Sunday. € 6 million and the CEO got over €2 million. Be true to your values. It is NEWS and much bigger than Console last year
@PVD: ah they only like headlines of that nature when it involves the guards
@PVD: I know, I work for this organisation and it infuriates me. The children and ordinary staff members have suffered so much from the cutbacks meanwhile the fat cats get fatter
They need to be treated like the criminals they are .. regardless of their age .
Didn’t the Journal publish an article earlier in the week saying everything was fine in Oberstown.
Since then there has been at least two articles saying different.
@MyBrokenKnees: obviously fake news.
No incidents in 7 months……this should read …no incidents that got media coverage. …
More diatribe…..
It’s suddenly a “Challenging Environment” now that he has been assaulted.But when ordinary staff were being assaulted everything was hunky dory.
Get the prison officers in there . Enough love dovey don’t work with these criminals that’s what they are. Will be in mount joy in a few years mark my words. Also make parents responsible for the children actions.
Katherine Zappone and Frances Fitzgerald maybe even Leo should work 2 or 3 days in a remand centre and then decide what needs to be done
You might come back into planet reality now . Criminals not children
have your say
